Broward County Property Appraiser public REST endpoint. The current public layer exposes FOLIO (13-digit parcel ID) only — owner, site-address, mailing, valuation, and sale fields were removed from public REST in the 2026-06-06 migration (see below). The FL statewide FDOR cadastral (services9.arcgis.com) is a partitioned FeatureServer that routes to individual county subsets — the CO_NO field in that dataset uses FDOR-internal county numbers (not FIPS) and queries outside the locally-routed partition return empty. County-specific endpoints are more reliable for Broward. MIGRATED 2026-06-06: gis.bcpa.net DNS was retired -- the public service moved to gisweb-adapters.bcpa.net (BCPA_EXTERNAL_JAN26/MapServer/16, 556,435 parcels). DEGRADED: the new public layer exposes FOLIO only; the county removed owner, site-address, and mailing fields from public REST. FOLIO lookup only -- owner-name search is no longer possible on this endpoint.

Broward County's Parcels layer exposes a parcel identifier (Folio Number (Parcel ID)). Use it for PIN-keyed record pulls (owner-name search lives on a separate assessor system). The single listed field accepts queries. Served as an ArcGIS MapServer layer, which supports query operations but not write operations; last verified 2026-06-06.

The sample query above is a working example you can paste into a browser tab to see the raw JSON response.Counties publish parcel data through their own ArcGIS Server installations, each with its own schema. One county uses APN, another uses PIN, a third uses PARCEL_ID. Some expose owner names; others keep them on a separate assessor's portal. The searchable fields list above reflects what Broward County actually publishes — not what you might expect from a national standard (there isn't one).
For background, see What is an APN?
Many county servers allow public reads but block browser cross-origin requests. The UrbanKit parcel lookup tool fetches directly from your browser; if it works there, the layer is technically public. For your own integration, you may need a same-origin proxy or server-side fetch.
Possibly — counties move services without warning. We re-verify entries weekly and flag stale ones. If you're seeing a fresh 404, please let us know and we'll update the listing.
Most are. Public ArcGIS layers don't typically rate-limit individual reads, but heavy programmatic use can trigger throttling at the host level. Be respectful — query what you need.
